The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed Thursday separate cases against two officials of Sonali Bank, two former officials of United Commercial Bank Ltd (UCBL) and two others for allegedly swindling out of around Tk 141 million.

ACC's senior deputy director Mir Zainul Abedin Shebly, also the investigating officer, filed a case with Motijheel police station against three people, including two officials of Sonali Bank, for swindling out of more than Tk 41.4 million.

The anti-graft watchdog at a recent meeting approved a proposal for filing a case against them, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya said.

The accused are managing director of Oli Knitting Fabrics Ltd (Narayanganj) Ayesha Afroz, executive officer of Sonali Bank Mosharraf Hossain and its executive officer and manager of Debidwar branch Zakir Hossain.

According to the ACC investigation, all the accused in collusion with each other swindled out Tk 41.4 million from Sonali Bank local branch through disbursement of loan to Oli Knitting Fabrics Ltd against fake documents.

Meanwhile, ACC deputy director Nasir Uddin filed another case against three people, including two former officials of UCBL, on charge of embezzling Tk 100 million by submitting forged documents.

After investigation into the allegation, Nasir Uddin proposed that the commission should approve the case. Later, ACC gave approval for filing the case against the three people last week.

The case was lodged with Kotwali police station in the capital on Thursday.

The accused are former manager of UCBL Nayabazar Branch Ali Haider and former official Md Yunus and FS Packaging Lt's chairman Fahmida Sultana.

ACC sources said Nurul Islam, husband of Fahmida, played a key role in getting loan from UCBL, showing forged documents. But they relieved him of the charge after his death.

Fahmida and her husband took out loan of Tk 100 million from UCBL Nayabazar Branch.  In order to get the loan, they submitted a deed of 17 kathas of land as mortgage. The land deed was in the names of Nurul Islam's brothers and sisters, but they were not informed of it at all.

The ACC in its investigation found that both Fahmida and Nurul submitted the land deed after preparing some fake documents in their names.  Two bank officials helped them receive loan after they had approved the forged documents.
